skin Of a Convict.

The Kingston Freeman tells the
following story, evidently without
straining its conscience in theleast:
Edward Pullen, a young man about
twenty-three years Of age, is a Jersey.
man. At present he lauguishes in the
Ulster county jail in Kingston. Re
corder Hussey sent him there for ten
days. Pullen drank Of his native
applejack, became intoxicated and
was arrested by Jailss Isaac Carman.
Pullen is a puzzle, and does some
wonderful things. Besides being a
good sleight-of-hand performer, he
does other things that are astonishing.
Before being taken from the city hall
for the Jail Pullen, in the presence OF
Alderman E. 0'Reilly, Jailer Carman,
officer Smith and a reporter OF the
Freeman, gave an exhibition OF his
skill, or whatever it may be called.
He first showed his audience q piece OF
slightly bent wire about one and half
inches inlength and about q sixteenth
OF an inch thick. One end OF this wire
he inserted into one corner Of his right
eye and told any one in the party 60
shove on the other end. No one re.
sponded, so Pullen did it himself. The
wire disappeared from sight. He
trace one finger along in his cheek un.
til it reached his mouth, when he
took it away. He then dropped the
wire out of his mouth. Pullen next
put the wire in the corner OF his left
eye, ran it along under the skin up to
and across theforehead and rookit ont
OF his right eye. Pullen's next feat
was to take a piece of iron about four
inches long from his pocket, stick one
end Of it in his nostril andsnufit out OF
sight into his head, as he said. Wheth.
err the iron really did go as far as his
head or not can only be coniectured,
but that it went out of sight is GER
tain. After shaking his head and low
ering it several times the iron made
its appearance, and hepulled it out of
his nose. Pullen's last act was to
pass his hat around for contribu-
tions. Jailer Carman said that he
did not know whether he could keep
Pullen in jail or not.

~ am writing q novel and it will be

stile Of it is like HowelPs but a good
deal better than either OF them. There
is FIVE weddings, ten births, fonr muir

two ~hangings, three big fights, a big
fire, q runaway, and lots and gobs Of
fun in it. Most OF the folks in the
book are people ] know, and / give
their real names. Some Of them win
be awfully tickled when it comes out
and others viii likely he mighty mad,
but you needn't are q snap for that,
for my brother Bill can lick anything
in this county, and they won't no
body dare say boo to him or me
about it. The besC part of the book
isthat nearly everybody dies in it. /

others 60 off harder. / will come on
myself and make the pickshers for the
book when it comes out. Please say
when you want. Pm head over heels

BY each ~attanuated curl.
She surely is, ! must admit,
An odd old.fashioned girl.
IT'S long, long since she had a beau,
And now with those who set arrow.
Along the wall she takes her place,
With something of the old-time grace,
She yearns to join the may waltz
And shyly shifts her s~melling-sults.
All, many an angel in disguise
May walk before our human eyes;
Where'er the fever-smitten lie f
In grimy haunts Of poverty,
Along the lark and squalid street,
Mid drunken iests OF boor and churl,
She goes with swift and plying feet
This same old.fashioned girl.

A#MN ~
German officer may be d man ot pOesS
~ when he is not hungry, but all the
bright eyes and sweet smiles ia Berlin
cannot turn him from his sandwichor
smoked sausage.
-Four years ago the Kaiser last &c.
viewed on horseback. He was 86 on
the 22d Of March, and the following
September he rode his big bay horse
Alexander at the review. Won Moltke
vas also mounted that day, and tho
Crown Prince, who was then in robust
health, was called the handsomest
officer on the ground. Now, in the
absence Of the Crown Prince, his son,
Prince William, got a good deal OF Ut
tention and admiration. Prince Will
lain is a slender young man of ~,
blue-eyed. and with dark hair. He
has not Che typical German face OF
his father, and does not promise his
good works. He resembles his mother
more, but is said to be intensely Ger
man in tastes and feelings. He rides
exceedingly vel, though having but
little use of his left arm and depend
ing almost entirely upon the right.
Won Moltke sat with his face to-
ward the troops, not once leaving his
carriage, which was drawn 40 very
near the Emperor and Just back Of
the Empress. He was absorbed in the
field, and seemed obiivious TO ali else.
The Emperor, too, gave his whole at
tention to the troops during the
three hours Of the parade.
The troops passed twice in review,
the second time on the double quick.
The Uhlans went with a grand dash,
and all the cavalry riding was magnifi-
cent. Many OF the flags were battle
flags, in shreds, and held together
only by the outlines Of the gold
eagles. 1t was the Kaiser who gave
the last touch to the review. When
it was over be stepped from bis
carriage to the ground. and
stood for half an hour,
thanking the officers, summoned in
~dividually, one after another, to re-
ceive his praise. After the officers q
number Of men from the ranks were
personally commended by the Kaiser.
/ did not learn why they were so Ia.
vored, but only saw them in q line
before the Emperor receiving this
mark OF his approval. Tt was n OF
the great small things coming into
their lives but once, to be handed
down to their children as q bright re-
membrance. A painter could put moth
ing finer on his canvass than the tall
stately old man, his simple dignity,
his kindly face, honest eyes, the CEN
trail figure, standing out from the
back ground OF his prineely staff and
speaking to these soldiers from the
rank and file.
/ think in no other country could it
all have ended with the enthusiasm d
cheers. German etiquette forbade
this demonstration, and when theem-
peror stepped into his carriage it was
the signal for q quiet departure. That
evening the Emperor gave q dinner at
the old Schloss, or royal palace, where
all formal dinners and parties are
given.
